In recent studies [1]} estimate that SNe Ia with early flux excess, such as SN 2015bq [2]}, amount to \(\simeq 18 \pm 11 \%\)  of all SNe Ia at redshift of \(z<0.07\) , and [3]} estimate this fraction to be \(\simeq 28 \pm 11 \%\) .
My conclusion is that the inflated envelope and mass ejection by LTP/VLTP events might at most account for a very small fraction of SNe Ia with early flux excess.
